FROM GOD TO GHOST

Well despite the myriad of things trying to bring about my demise .. I may have stuck arrive long enough to see something else unfold?

After years of trying to detect neutrinos they may have just detected one recently? Time will tell.

It's staggering how much we still don't know, like the fact that Earth is got by high energy particles like protons. We do not know for sure where these originate from.

As I read the article linked below it got me thinking ..

Where do photons eventually and up?

I mean they tell us there is a limit to the universe, right? So what happens to light at the edges? I mean if there is no spacetime .. does light speed up? Does it stop? Does it behave erratically? Does it bounce back?

Well I don't think they're is an edge but more of that momentarily.

I then thought of something else .. we were surprised to find that the universe is expanding faster the further away it is, right? But we don't know why.

But we also kind of accept that spacetime is a .. thing. Like there is a fabric to it, so to speak?

Well what if all the stars and ask the galaxies giving off might and other highly energetic particles is why slowly spreads spacetime out?

It would explain while the furthest parts are the fastest moving in relation to our location.

Like flattening out ripples on a satin bed-cover, you slowly move your hands over and the metal moves ever so slowly. Maybe it's a minuscule version of this?

After all even some sub-atomic particles have mass.

And what shape is the universe? How do you know if the path is straight for a photon of light when it travels such large distances? It could be round, for all we know? Measuring things in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and even our local group is one thing, despite the insane distances. But for galaxies on the far sides of the universe .. we are talking of a mind boggling distance and we have barely ventured very far with scientific instruments. I mean the universe is so vast that spacetime would only need the slightest of curves that might remain undetectable to us, even if spacetime was detectable, but over insane distances could be curved.

I used to wonder when a child if you could travel at speeds many hundreds of times faster than the speed of light and set off in one direction would you eventually find yourself back at Earth?

In the meantime it will be interesting to see if this discover at the Ice Cube Laboratory gets confirmed and what we can glean from this?

It is a shame that I did not get into this line of work earlier than I decided to do my degree and wish I had forsaken all else. For the benefit of mankind, of course. Though of late I am not sure eveyone deserves it?
